Professional Compliance Bureau

It is essential that all allegations of police misconduct are thoroughly and objectively investigated to assure the public that official police misconduct will not be tolerated and, at the same time, provide a process whereby officers unjustly accused can be vindicated. The responsibility and authority for these investigations within the Miami-Dade Police Department are vested within the Professional Compliance Bureau, Internal Affairs Section.

The Internal Affairs Section has as its major function the receiving, processing, and investigation of complaints made against members of the Department. To ensure the public trust and maintain the Department’s integrity, the Bureau conducts immediate, objective, and thorough investigations of all complaints. Complaints may be submitted anonymously by letter or e-mail.

Various statistics and reports regarding Use of Force incidents and complaints are available to the general public upon request to the Professional Compliance Bureau.
